I have several dogs too and I've also been looking for a area rug for the living room. I'm very seriously considering Flor carpet tiles. I'd prefer a persian rug, but since an individual Flor tile can be cleaned if it gets soiled it seems a very practical option with dogs.(I swear I don't work for Flor)

Love the sofa! I hope the cushion covers are removable and replaceable. I am looking for something inexpensive with sturdy indoor/outdoor fabric/replaceable cushion covers for my tv room. I have 3 large dogs that are pretty rough on upholstery and I'm afraid a leather sofa might be a chewable temtation. Those outdoor chairs are super too.

cool. where can one purchase washi tape?

Sorry, but I quite prefer the yellow. It is warmer and brighter and cheerier, IMO. Maybe the two pic's were taken at different times of day, or was it overcast when the after pic was taken?

Emmi above is right. Supplying the saltwater tropical fish trade is destroying the very reefs from which the fish are captured; most of which die in transport, which of course inflates their prices. Having said that, I do like aquariums, just make it freshwater. Freshwater fish are captive bred, so there is little raiding wild populations going on, plus you can fill your tank with aquatic plants, which are also domestically propagated. I keep thinking of getting an aquarium, but the stands are uniformly ugly.

What and attractive couple.........of pooches! Ok, the humans are a very attractive couple as well. Beautiful home. I would want to show it off as much as possible too. the only negative is (and I think I'm also guilty of this); devotion to MCM purity. When all the furnishings are well known MCM pieces the space looks more like a showroom rather that a home. I think I've been doing the same thing because I love everything MCM, but it starts looking so generic.

I think the seller is obligated to disclose that such an event occured, but the laws regarding that may be different in your state, county municpality. Ypu should check on that. You may be able to get even more of a discount. I know many people would be offput by something like that, which is why it is selling for such a good deal. You have to go by your own feelings on the matter. Personally I wouldnt worry about it too much. While a suicide is sad, it has nothing to do with the you or the house. the question is can you live there without thinking of it everyday? I could, but you might not.

totally. i spent ages trying to decide on the right shade of grey for my homes interior. then it occured to me, wait, my homes exterior is grey too! I should find a alternative, but jiminy xmas the possiblities are endless and i knew i'd get tired whatever color i chose in short order. So basic bright white for me.

super! except for the Chevron. IMO, the Chevron fad is done. Enough already.

Great start to this series. Being inspired by a shirt is an awesome idea. My problem committing to color is that I'm fickle. I'm sure as soon as I paint a wall, I'll want to change it. At least pillows and art can be changed out easily.
